Most people here are probably familiar with the French Char FCM 2C, and I should imagine most also know about the one vehicle (Champagne) which was fitted with a 155mm howitzer for some years (though refitted with the original pattern 75mm gun in, I think, 1939), and which was designated Char FCM 2C Bis whilst fitted with the howitzer.
I've only ever seen one photo of Champagne, whether in books or on the web, but I recently found some very good CGI re-creations (for gaming/war simulations) of this particular vehicle, which I attach below.
As far as I can see, they reflect the photo very well, but as I have only ever seen the one photo, and no drawings/plans, I cannot vouch for their accuracy. I just wondered if anyone here could do so with any other images of the actual vehicle and/or plans/scale drawings?

Thanks for that, but I should have been clearer in my original post - I'm after more photos of Champagne with the 155mm howitzer, by the time war broke out that had been replaced with the original 75mm gun and turret which is the configuration the tank was in when destroyed.
